Shipping a complete Ubuntu installation in a VM just to have CHIRP pre-installed seems a bit of over-kill. Typically a single line command would install CHIRP, wouldn't it?

CHIRP is 20-40 megabytes, a full GUI install of Ubuntu is measured in gigabytes.

Yes, installing a 3rd party package (Chirp) and distributing a VM image of it can be considered 'modification'.

Well if it is the only someone can use Chirp, either for accessibility, or because of operating system, I see nothing wrong with it.

I may DD my thumb drive with Ubuntu and Chirp on it, if I can find a drive with just that on it, and give a link to anyone who wants it.

Some of my thumb drives are multiboot, with several operating systems on it, so I'll need to go through a bunch of them to find one that has Ubuntu 18 and Chirp.

I can't imagine anyone here wants to be responsible for setting up, distributing, and supporting a VM image of what is now outdated and no longer supported software. I know I wouldn't want to be. There's a reason the software is outdated, the best solution is to keep up.

What would be handy is to have a VM of Ubuntu with the old Chirp already installed, so that can be implemented.

I am sure I have an old Ubuntu Live on a thumb drive with Chirp on it, but I don't know if that can be made into a VM.
